Reading: The Lying Life of Adults, Elena Ferrante
Why did you want to read this? I loved Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels, and this is Ferrante’s most recent book, set in Naples again. The book allows you to inhabit the inner turmoil of adolescent Giovanna who enters the lying life of adults... I revel in the idea that Ferrante’s prose feels totally uncensored.
How did you record yourself? Sitting on my bed with my laptop and hardback copy of the book.
